NCT01643837 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2022-02-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There are many current medical treatments for mastalgia, but few have been proven effective. Our objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment as compared to a light touch protocol and standard management in the treatment of women with cyclical and non-cyclical mastalgia. We will compare duration of the pain, severity of the pain and the effect of the pain on quality of life.
